you guys should really wait for information reported after the game before panicking, come on now
from rotoworld:
The Rays said B.J. Upton left Thursday's game with cramps in his back and legs. That'd be very good news. If it's nothing more than cramps, Upton could be back in center field on Friday. If it's more of a problem than that, the Rays would likely use Delmon Young in center and Jonny Gomes in right.

That and I'm just frustrated because I was cruising in first before these stupid injuries. Now, I'm only a few games ahead after dominating the entire league.
This is the last thing i need as well. Hanley out, Pence out, Berkman out but still playing, and now Upton possibly out. The entire league is creeping up on me, this is unreal. I'm gonna make some block buster deals if hanley and bj aren't playing in the next few days. What have i done to piss off the baseball gods.
"...Manager Joe Maddon doesn't seem concerned, telling Sports Network it was "just a cramp--they told me about it before he ran out to play defense. He said he was fine, but when the first pop up is hit and he comes after it and didn't get to it. And then I saw him walking back, so I said I was going to go out there to check it out, so I ran out there. Once I got out there, he of course, wants to stay out there, but there was no way. But he's fine, he's going to play tomorrow.""

Thank you so much, this makes me feel a ton better.

I would not take ANYTHING Joe Maddon says as gospel. Make sure to check your lineups tomorrow and see that he's REALLY starting because Maddon has been known to outright lie in these injury situations. You've been warned.
